Evil is Awakened in the New Trailer for Robert Eggers' 'Nosferatu"

- By Nicolas Delgadillo

The director of 'The Witch' and 'The Lighthouse' reimagines a horror movie classic this December

This Christmas, acclaimed director Robert Eggers (The WitchThe LighthouseThe Northman) is resurrecting a true horror classic: Nosferatu. The upcoming movie is based on Bram Stoker's original 1897 novel Dracula and acts as a remake of the 1922 silent film by F.W. Murnau. That's quite a lot to live up to, but with Eggers' impressive track record and this film in particular being dubbed a passion project of his, it looks like things are in some very capable hands.

Focus Features dropped the first full trailer for Nosferatu this week, giving us a serious good look and feel for how this fresh take on an old nightmare is going to unfold. Bill Skarsgård stars as the vampiric Count Orlok while Lily-Rose Depp stars as the object of his desire, the beautiful Ellen Hunter. The cast also includes Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, and Simon McBurney.

"Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake."

'Nosferatu' creeps into theaters this December 25th.

    (Written by Dustin Meadows) October is here again, and that means the official beginning of spooky season. Even for those of us who celebrate spooky season year round, it’s a great excuse to watch a horror movie every day of the month (and every day the rest of the year as well), and sometimes it can be hard to make selections when we’re inundated with so many options in our own collections and an overwhelming amount of options on various streaming services. So I’ve dug deep into my own personal preferences to give you some daily theme prompts to help...
